Chapter 63
Lucinda's POV
After about two hours of embarrassing, emotional and funny stories and speeches lunch was finally served and it was divine.
My stomach would agree. Although I had tasted most of this food prior to today it still punched me in the taste buds and made me moan in pleasure.
After sitting for a bit I felt bored and made my way to the dance floor. Unfortunately my boyfriend was no where in sight so I guess I'm dancing solo.
When I got there to bust some moves I felt someone gently hold my hand before a gentle kiss was placed on my knuckles. From the light tingles I felt I knew who it was instantly.
"Would you like to dance Miss Morningstar?"
"Why, of course Mr McConaughey."
He placed my hand on his shoulder and held my other hand in his palm. He placed his free hand on my waist and we began to dance to the sound of 'Classic' by MKTO.
Immediately I let go of him and began free styling and he laughed at my stupidity but ended joining me. At some point in the middle of the song we had come up with our own little routine.
A crowd had begun to form around us and that only encouraged me to dance more wildly and Donny joined me. Once the song was finished we bowed to the crowd and they clapped vigorously before a slow song began to play.
We went back into each others arms and I gently laid my head on his chest. For a few minutes we just dance like that and I felt like I was in heaven.
"Every day you surprised me Lucinda Morningstar."
I looked up from his chest in curiosity.
"How so?"
He smiled and looked up, in a sort of dazed look, like he trying to remember something which made him look sexy in a way before he looked down at me and smirked.
God forbid this man ever stops smirking!
"You just do..."
I nodded like I understood before noticing what looked like Lucian and Lynn walking away somewhere together. It was getting pretty late in the evening and it was much darker but I could make out their faces.
I wonder where their going...
"Did I ever tell you that you looked smexy in your tux today?"
I furrowed my brows and pouted a little bit.
"Smexy?"
"Yeah... A smart kind of sexy. Smexy."
I laughed and threw my head back in amusement.
"Trust Donavan Xavier Christopher McConaughey to make a word."
When he didn't respond to me using his full name I looked at his face to decipher his emotions. He was looking at my face with an unrecognisable look in his eyes and all I could do was smile.
"What?"
I asked kind of embarrassed. Was there something stuck in my teeth?
"You look so beautiful."
Is it possible for your heart to explode? Because that's what happened as soon as Donavan uttered those words. A small gasp left my lips and all the air got knocked out of my lungs. Just as I was about to respond Chase showed up out of nowhere and cleared his throat.
Like he was getting burned by acid, Donny quickly let go of me before turning around and walked away. I was too stunned to comprehend what was happening before I was in Chase's arms slowly rocking to the music.
"I believe you owe me a dance my lady..."
Deciding to put Donny's whole fiasco to the back of my mind, I forced a smile on my face and focused on the person in front of me.
He smiled gently and held me close. No matter how much I tried my emotions seemed to get the best of me but I held them back for the sake of this relationship.
But is it really worth it though? I found myself looking around to see whether I could catch a glimpse of Donny but he was no where to be seen.
"You know..."
Chase suddenly speaking snapped me out of my trance.
"I never really told you how beautiful you look today."
I smiled at his compliment and thanked him softly.
"Infact... You always look beautiful. You always seem to somehow sweep me off my feet Lucy... You make me wanna be- you make a better person.
I know I would kill anyone who hurt you because all I want is your eternal happiness.
I always find myself thinking about you and not being around you makes me feel sad and lonely.
Believe it or not I'm always talking about you and everyone points it out..."
I chuckle but a little bit of worry settled in my stomach. Where is he going with this?
"Every day I want to learn something new about you and listen to you talk for hours, even if it's about something stupid. I wanna bake cookies with you and stay up late with you.
So basically what I'm to say is..."
Holy shit.
"... I love you Lucy."
Fuck.
I stiffened and gulped and he looked at me with the biggest smile on his face. I mean this is what I want right? For him to love me so I can have my freedom right?
But why am I hesitating? What's wrong? I've lied before, why can't I do it now? He seemed to notice my internal conflict and his smile faltered a little bit.
"You don't have to say it back... I can wait. Just take your time. I just wanted to let you know how I feel about you."
I nodded and mumbled something about wanting to go to the bathroom. Giving me some space I walked away from him.
Running away from something in heels and a long dress isn't particularly the easiest thing in the world. My head was swarming with multiple emotions of confliction.
One part of me screamed at me to go back there and confess my love so I could get his soul be free but the other part of me told me to keep walking and that's what I kept doing.
Unfortunately my clumsy self didn't see the tiny dent in the grass and went tumbling to the ground once I stepped in it and everything went black.
